Hair Growing Back
Hi All,
I am on my last paclitaxel chemo next week and staring to look beyond the chemo bad ass.
I am just completing 8 courses of dose dense chemo - 4 xAC, 4x Paclitaxel and am wondering how long it took for others to grow their hair back. I know this is assuming it has grown back sufficiently, as some women are unlucky with hair regrowth.
Just hoping you can share you experiences of when your hair grew back enough to actually feel like you had enough to do something with and any changes in your hair regrowth from before chemo.
Many thanks,
Jo

Kate is still sporting a monk's tonsure. Do let us know how your lady garden germinates! - @"Kiwi Angel" Divine shoes!
- Love your shoes @"Kiwi Angel" I couldn't possibly wear those in country Victoria's climate at the moment. I'd have frost bite
- No eyebrows or eyelashes on me, eagerly waiting for regrowth. Drawing them in with eyebrow pencil if going somewhere special, otherwise not bothering at the moment.
I have the beginnings of a five o'clock shadow for pubes and same on my head. Chemo hey !! - Happy days - I got into the jimmy choos. The fluid retention is retreating
